Here are their numbers coming out of college:
Jace Amaro: Anthony Fasano
Height: 6'5" : 6'4"
Weight: 265 pounds : 259 pounds
40 time: 4.74 sec : 4.72 sec
Broad Jump: 9'8" : 9'4"
Vertical: 33" : 33 1/2"
Short Shuttle: 4.30 sec: 4.33
3-cone drill: 7.42 sec : 6.94 sec
What is said about Amaro coming into the draft:
STRENGTHS Excellent size with a well-proportioned frame and room for added bulk. Releases cleanly into routes. Moves like an oversized receiver. Good balance. Enough foot speed to stretch the seam. Good hands to extend and catch. Gives effort as a move blocker and can block out defensive backs. Flashes nastiness. Historic one-year production.
WEAKNESSES Was used as an inside receiver and lacks the bulk, base strength and body power to match up with NFL defensive ends. Is unsudden (average acceleration) and lacks elite top-end speed. Upright, unrefined route runner -- shows hip and ankle stiffness in and out of breaks. Struggles to consistently separate. Fairly straight-linish after the catch. Ordinary run strength. Production was inflated by scheme and poor pass defenses.
What was said about Anthony Fasano coming into his draft:
Fasano has a developing frame with a thick chest, good upper body muscle tone and bubble, thick calves and thighs and adequate hip flexibility. He has the ability to carry more bulk and still maintain his agility and short area quickness. He has good movements coming off the snap, showing smoothness in his route and enough acceleration to gain advantage. He generates a clean release, using his hands with force to defeat the jam.
Fasano shows the ability to squeeze through tight quarters to settle into the zone's soft area. He has a good feel for the underneath passing game and while he lacks top speed, he is very effective at covering ground to stretch and threaten the seam. He showed in 2005 improved sharpness and pattern progression. He now breaks off the route squarely and while he is used mostly on the tight end delay and underneath, he has enough burst to slip by and get up the seam (see 2005 Southern California, Tennessee and Navy games).
Fasano has the strength and short area quickness to separate in the short area. He runs disciplined routes, finds his marks, breaks cleanly and gets his head turned around in time to look the ball in. He is a big target over the middle and has a feel for coverage, doing a nice job of getting open in time for the quarterback to get the ball to him. He makes good body adjustments to the ball in flight and has the ability to uncover.
Fasano catches in his hands and body. He can extend high and low to make the off-target catches and is a consistently good receiver. He runs crisp digs, drags and option routes and shows good body lean and weight transfer that allow him to snap off his breaks and separate. He lacks the speed to be considered a deep threat, but gets into his routes smoothly and has the body control to adjust to the ball in flight.
He is a tough and physical receiver when working in a crowd. He has good hand/eye coordination to catch outside the framework and has some shake to elude after the catch. He will not win many foot races in the open, but turns it up hard and will bleed yardage after the catch. He is more of a power runner who breaks tackles rather than someone who will try to slip by and avoid defenders.
As a blocker, he is on the defender quickly and follows up with good strength, leverage and active feet. Fasano needs to add more bulk to be an adequate in-line blocker, but he works hard to sustain. He shows good balance and does an effective job adjusting to the linebacker in space to finish his block. He has just enough size to wall off the linebacker, but he is not going to pancake the bigger defensive linemen with his frame structure.
In other words, for those who really want Amaro on the team, we already have a more experienced version of him.:hmmm: Just hope that Fasano can stay healthy this time around.
